Abstract
Learning statistics are useful for primary students' teachers, although they are prepared to be primary school teachers. Statistics can develop student’s critical thinking, logic, and necessary in completing their final project, but some student’s teachers do not notice and also have learning anxiety which affects their learning outcomes achievement. Learning anxiety is caused by many factors and must be reduced to achieve maximum learning outcomes. This study explores the relationship between statistical learning anxiety and learning outcomes and describes what factors make students anxious in learning statistics. This study used a quantitative approach that explored the relationship between statistical learning anxiety and statistical learning outcomes using the non-parametric test by Spearman Rank correlation test. Data was collected through tests, questionnaires, and student reflections. Test and anxiety questionnaire results analyzed quantitatively, while the results of interviews and reflections will be analyzed qualitatively. Statistics questions tests are arranged based on statistical learning objectives; questionnaires are arranged based on learning anxiety indicators. The subjects of this study were 72 students of the primary student’s teacher. The results showed that there was a relationship between statistical learning anxiety and statistical learning outcomes in primary student's teachers. Students' statistical learning anxiety has impact to encourage students to achieve their learning outcomes goals. Based on interviews and reflection data, some of the factors that influence student anxiety include information from seniors who say statistics subject so difficult, mathematics prior knowledge students still relatively low, and their fear of the risk of failing in statistics subject.
